Orange Chicken Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I love this Orange Chicken Recipe; it is absolutely delicious! Before we start cooking, did you know that Orange Chicken is a dish of American-Chinese origin? There are claims that this recipe originally came from Hunan (a province in china) and was modified when brought here in North America for the purpose of adapting to the American palate.In my opinion, Panda Express makes the best Orange Chicken. Though it is a fast food chain, most of their dishes are far better than the one’s served in restaurants.

Orange Chicken

This is not the original Orange Chicken Recipe of Panda Express but rather a regular variation similar to the one’s served in Chinese buffets ( just added green onions to make it more appealing). I also minimized the ingredients to make this a budget friendly Orange Chicken Recipe fit for those who want to practice a frugal way of living. I will try to make our future recipes as budget friendly as possible so please stay tuned.

Please tell me what you think of this Orange Chicken Recipe. Your comments are greatly appreciated.

Try this delicious dish and let me know what you think.

    I cooked this for lunch today, super delicious! Thanks for the recipe, I just added 1/4 cup water to reduce sweetness. And I also added 1 tsp cornstarch diluted in 1 tbsp water.

    Pretty good recipe on its own! I tried it yesterday and made some minor adjustment accdg. to my liking. I did’t have green onion so I used chopped fresh parley instead. It came out really good and my husband said I should keep this in my keeper’s menu! It’s very easy to make and so tasty!!!

    Doing that will definitely change the taste. I recommend trying recipes with chili such as kung pao chicken of spiced chicken. That is just a recommendation, you can always give it a try and see if you will like the taste. Thanks for commenting. Ingat lagi.

    kuya, thank you po! I saw your videos in Youtube and this website really helps with the measurements of ingredients. Im a new housewife that really doesnt know anything about cooking i mean literally and the measurements really help. Hopefully I can get to that level where I can just toss in the ingredients and measure by just looking. Thanks for your effort, you really saved my marriage! Im down to the point where my inlaws were being to critical expecially of my cooking and I cooked this recipe, and they thought I bought an already made one. It’s okay if they dont believe me, but deep inside I felt a sense of accomplishment for myself! Now my foreigner husband cant wait to go home after a day’s work! You saved me from an impending divorce. Pagpalain po sana kayo at ng iyong pamilya ng Panginoong Maykapal!
